The Midland County Sheriff’s Office has released photos from the crime scene where remains were discovered Sunday.

The photos posted on the MCSO’s Facebook page were released to show “the difficulty in this crime scene,” according to the post.

The discovery of a skeletal foot was made in a pit in the area of the 5000 block of West County Road 116 at about 6:20 p.m. Sunday.

The skeletal remains, which are believed to be female, were discovered after investigators were led to the WCR 116 area after receiving information in reference to a possible homicide. A K9 team on Saturday began searching an 18-acre area, and the dogs made hits on two locations in a pit that was mostly filled in.

MCSO investigators and Texas Rangers uncovered “mostly intact” skeletal remains, according to a press release. The remains will be sent to a forensic anthropologist in Tarrant County to determine the cause of death and identification.

The discovery could be tied to the case of two missing teenagers from October 2015, according to a previous Reporter-Telegram article.

During a press conference on Monday afternoon, Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter didn’t release information about the missing teenagers’ hometowns.

“We started searching, and we found an individual in a house that had some of their property,” Painter said. “We could not find the teenagers. We had nothing further to go on, and we… pray that this case will tie back to that and that we will be able to positively identify.”
